GEGHARKUNIK COMMUNITY TO GET RID OF WATER PROBLEM
GAVAR, JUNE 9, ARMENPRESS: A rural community of Masrik in Gegharkunik
province is set to enjoy soon three deep-water pumping units, each of which
will be able to pump out 35 liters of water per second. The project is
funded by the government that has released to that end some $145,000.
Another component of the project is laying two 6-and-3-km-long pipelines
which will take irrigation water to around 800 hectares of land and
eliminate the community’s long-standing drinking water problem. Community
head Rafik Hunanian told Armenpress that gasification of the community was
underway. He said another 50 households will be connected to the network by
the end of the year, when overall 170 families will have gas in their homes.
